Baseball: FGCU rally fizzles against Columbia

Florida Gulf Coast University scored a run to tie the game in the bottom of the eight, but Columbia scored two in the ninth to down the Eagles 5-3 at Swanson Stadium.

In the bottom of the ninth, Tim Roberson doubled off the wall, just missing a game-tying home run. But Zach Maxfield was thrown out trying to score from first, and Javi Sujo grounded out to end the threat.
